Hello everyone, I am planning to customize my Ikea Brimnes furniture a bit more individually and am wondering which modifications are best achievable without compromising stability or functionality. I am especially interested in practical and aesthetic adjustments that can be done with reasonable effort. Does anyone have experience with changes like adding extra shelves, changing the color, or integrating lighting? Tips on proper preparation or recommended materials would also be great, so I don’t make any mistakes.
I can fully understand how important it is to customize your furniture according to your own needs. It is not always easy to find the balance between aesthetic preferences and practical feasibility. If you are unsure about how far to go with modifications, I would recommend starting with smaller changes, such as replacing handles or applying adhesive films. This way, you can gradually see how it looks and functions. Feel free to ask for feedback if you like – sometimes an outside perspective can be helpful.

I am also interested in the exact furniture layout in your place, as it can influence how and where you best apply modifications.Good question! In the living room, I have my Brimnes TV stand model, complemented by two small shelves from the same series on the sides. I actually want to round off the edges a bit and also adjust the color of the front surface, possibly with a white tint or light gray. Additionally, I am interested in integrating LED strips behind the edges of the shelves to create an indirect lighting effect. The lighting should be dimmable and preferably not visible. Do you have any recommendations on what to watch out for when sanding, painting, and managing cables? I am also a bit concerned about the stability of the shelves and the material of the edges.Similar topics
